Clairessa’s POV

"Oh, don’t stop on my account."

Nicole walked fully into the office, her voice laced with subtle sarcasm and mockery.

I refused to give her the pleasure of my attention. Instead, I zeroed in on Adrian—the cause of this mess, the reason I was now stuck in this unpleasant moment with her.

And knowing Nicole, she would never let me hear the end of it.

Meanwhile, Adrian stumbled back, the smugness in his expression fading into regret. His hands lifted in surrender. "Claire, I—"

"Have you lost your fucking mind?" My voice trembled with fury. "How dare you kiss me after I explicitly told you to leave me alone?"

Adrian stepped closer, reaching out as if to touch me—but I lifted my hands, stopping him in his tracks.

"Don’t you ever come near me again or pull another stupid stunt like that!"

Nicole scoffed. "Oh, quit pretending. I caught you both kissing passionately, and now that you have an audience, you want to act like Miss Innocent?"

I clenched my jaw, fi

  • Falling For My Ex's Dad   Chapter 245: She's Not Some Trophy Virgin

    Gabriel’s POVClairessa’s reply came in too fast.Clairessa: Gabriel! …we can't yet, that’d be too suspicious.Gabriel: I don’t care. No one touches what’s mine. Not even my son. I need him away from you before I lose it.Clairessa: Relax, Mr. Possessive. He can’t do anything here. But… it’s kinda hot when you’re like this.Gabriel: I’m one step away from announcing to this damn table that you’re my woman.Clairessa: Not yet. Not with your ex-wife two seats away playing mind games. I don’t want you to lose Adrian over me.I read her message and exhaled slowly. She was right, as always. I needed to cool down.Still, I caught the way Angelique’s gaze moved between us. She knew something was up.“Clairessa,” she asked. “Is that work?”“You caught me,” Clairessa replied with a small smile. “Apologies. Just wrapping some unfinished work up.”“Seems Gabriel is too,” Angelique added with a tilt of her head. “You both must work closely.”I didn’t bother looking at her. “Stay out of my busines

  • Falling For My Ex's Dad   Chapter 244: We're Leaving Now

    Gabriel’s POV Adrian had called me downstairs for dinner. Nothing unusual. But the second I stepped into the dining room and saw the lit candles and the elaborate table setting, I stilled. What the hell is this? “Adrian,” I snapped, my eyes narrowing on the over-the-top floral centerpiece and the suspicious glint in his eyes. “What the hell is going on here?” He raised both hands as if I’d walked in mid-explosion. “Dad, calm down…” My fists clenched. “You knew about this?” He shrugged, avoiding my eyes. “She told me just before you came down.” Of course he did, and he didn’t do anything to stop it. He gestured toward Angelique, who stood smiling like a woman who thought this was all charming instead of deeply twisted. “Mom prepared all this,” he said. “It’s her way of apologizing. A gesture... to make amends.” Angelique. It had to be her. I let out a bitter laugh. “Make amends?” I scoffed. “For what exactly?” Angelique stepped closer, her hands clasped together in front o

    Clairessa’s POVGabriel’s eyes narrowed. “What the fuck are you doing in Clairessa’s room?”Angelique blinked, unfazed. “I should be asking you, Gabriel. What are you doing in your son’s girlfriend’s room… while she’s dressed in nothing but a towel?”Gabriel’s fury ignited instantly. “You’ve got some goddamn nerve to question me in my own house.”“I didn’t mean to…” she began, hands lifting defensively.“You never mean to,” he cut in harshly. “But you always do, don’t you?”Angelique exhaled, trying to keep her tone calm. “Gabriel, I’m not here to cause trouble. I simply asked the help where Clairessa’s room was because I thought it might be nice for the two of us to have a little girl talk. That’s all.”“You have no right to ask about Clairessa’s room,” Gabriel barked. “And you sure as hell don’t get to try and speak with her. You don’t even know her.”“I…”“I don’t want to hear from you,” he growled. “You need to leave. Now. And do well to stay out of my way while you’re under my ro

    Clairessa’s POV My hand flew to my chest. “You freaking scared me!” My knees nearly gave out, but his arms were already around me, holding me up. “I knocked twice,” he said, his voice calm. “You just didn’t hear me.” He handed me a towel, warm and fresh. I snatched it from him and clutched it tight against my body. “You shouldn’t be here,” I faked outrage, wrapping the towel around me tighter. His lips curved. “I can’t decide when you’re most beautiful,” he said, stepping closer, his gaze lazy and hot. “Is it when you’re asleep? When you’re mad at me… or when you’re swimming and kicking Adrian’s ass in the pool?” His eyes drifted slowly down my body. “Or is it when you’re moaning my name right before you come… or right now, stepping out of the shower like this?” He leaned in, nuzzling into my damp hair, breathing me in. “God… your hair smells like vanilla and honey,” he murmured. “Wet… soft…” His fingers found a droplet sliding down my neck, and he trailed it slowly, down o

  • Falling For My Ex's Dad   Chapter 241: Weekend Was Over

    Clairessa’s POV The morning sun should’ve felt refreshing. Instead, it just reminded me that the weekend was over, and reality was about to hit hard. Our luggage was lined up along the marble walkway. Everyone was packed and ready to leave. Randolph stood proudly at the center of it all, arms stretched wide like a man who just conquered time itself. "Thank you all so much for coming," he said with a voice that carried across the courtyard. "It was a fantastic birthday. A damn fantastic one." Gabriel was the first to step forward. "Thank you, Randolph. You really pulled it off." Adrian clapped his hand firmly. "The food, the band, the people, you really did the most." I smiled as I walked up to him. "Thank you so much, Randolph. It was truly a fantastic birthday. I just pray you get many more years, more strength, and when you hit your next big milestone, we’ll all be right there celebrating with you again." Randolph laughed hard. "Oh, one hundred percent. No matter wher

    Gabriel’s POVClairessa’s head tipped back slowly against my shoulder, lips parted, breath shallow. I felt the tremble in her body press into mine.“Gabriel…” she whispered. “Do you really mean that? Because if this ends… if you walk away again, I won’t survive it. I can’t go through what happened before. I can’t relive that.”Immediately, I turned her gently, forcing her to look at me.Her eyes were glassy, vulnerable as she searched mine.“I’m not walking away,” I assured her softly. “This is real. I’m real. And I will fight until my last breath to make sure you know that.”I drew her closer, my arm firm around her waist.Then I leaned in and kissed her—slow, certain, and full of everything I didn’t have the words to say.Her breath hitched.“Does that feel real to you?” I asked, brushing my lips against hers.She shook her head faintly. “I don’t know.”I kissed her again. Harder this time. Her hands tangled in my shirt, clutching and needing me.My mouth took hers, passionately dev
